Re: [help-texinfo] German umlauts and @node/@chapter (again)

[Karl Berry]

Hi Oliver,

    to me the complexity of Texinfo/TeX/LaTeX/pdfetex/etc. grows slowly

This problem is simply about texinfo.tex.  TeX, LaTeX, pdfetex, etc.,
are not the issue.

    If I write an umlaut in a @chapter or @node instruction, I receive in

I believe the problem is simple (but very unfortunate): you cannot use @
commands in @node names.  Sorry about that.  Allowing accents etc. in
node names is one of the most important things that needs to be done.

By the way, you should use @copying rather than the @ifinfo
etc. sequence at the beginning for the permissions.  Otherwise the
permissions don't end up in the HTML output (for example).  There are
skeleton input files in the Texinfo manual.
